Good luck to all the Jersey City Marathon runners this weekend!! Thank you especially to all the organizers and local businesses who make this possible! Can't wait to cheer everyone on!! 🏃🏃‍♀️

This is a massive victory for 350,000 Haitian families who call our country home, and shows what we can achieve when we work together. I will always fight in Congress to ensure our communities are protected from Trump's attacks. Now, on to the Senate!

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley

IT'S OFFICIAL: The House has passed our extension of TPS for Haiti. This win wouldn't be possible without the strength & organizing of our movement to defend our Haitian neighbors. To those in the #MA7 & beyond, this is for you. The Senate must pick this up without delay.

The U.S. House passes Rep. Ayanna Pressley’s legislation to extend Temporary Protected Status for Haiti.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 16(source)

I asked the Secretary of Energy what grade he would give the Trump Administration on affordability. It did not go well for him.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 16(source)

Headed to the House Floor to vote YES on yet another effort by House Democrats to pass a War Powers Resolution. House Republicans have another opportunity to join House Democrats and do the right thing. Will they? Or will they fail once again to meet the moment?

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 16(source)

I’m voting YES to extend TPS for our Haitian neighbors. The House must act now to pass this vital legislation, and I’m proud to stand with Rep. Ayanna Pressley, whose fearless leadership made this vote possible. We have to defend our communities against the President’s ongoing attacks.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 16(source)

It’s 2026, and the women’s health research gap still exists. Met with Alex Taylor to discuss how the Dads Caucus can partner in the fight to finally close the gap, come up with new solutions, and pass the Momnibus. Our work continues.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 16(source)

We must extend these protections, offering stability to families who contribute to our country every day. I will continue fighting to keep our neighbors safe from Trump’s assault on our communities.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 16(source)

Proud to join this legal challenge against the Trump Admin’s unlawful termination of TPS for Haiti & Syria.

I just filed a Supreme Court amicus brief to defend TPS with @pressley.house.gov, @markey.senate.gov, @vanhollen.senate.gov & 180+ Congressional Democrats. l'll always fight to protect law-abiding, hard-working immigrant families from being ripped apart or sent back to dangerous conditions.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 16(source)

We need to invoke the 25th Amendment. Proud to join Rep. Raskin in the work to establish a formal commission. Our work continues.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 15(source)

📍Celebrating a new NJ TRANSIT fleet in Kearny 🚍 Proud to see a modernized fleet in our community today thanks in part to federal funding we advocated for—making public transit more reliable and accessible for everyone.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 15(source)

This #ArabAmericanHeritageMonth and every month, we're celebrating the diverse contributions made by Arab Americans across our communities and beyond. We are stronger because of all of our Arab communities who call New Jersey home.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 15(source)

What an honor and privilege to celebrate my friend & North Star, @repbonnie.bsky.social. It has been an incredible honor to work alongside such a trailblazer in Congress. Thank you to CAWP for hosting us — New Jersey is undoubtedly better because of Rep. Watson Coleman. 🫶

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 15(source)

Another major milestone met! ✅ We will continue fighting to deliver on the largest infrastructure project in the nation.

The mammoth machine that will drill a new commuter tunnel connecting New York and New Jersey has arrived

Massive machines to drill the Gateway Hudson River rail tunnel arrived in North Bergen to be assembled like Legos to build a 500-foot long tunnel building factory.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 15(source)

I know it’s difficult to feel hopeful in these challenging times but visiting Pastor Yeison after his release from Delaney did just that. Grateful that he is home safe with his family & congregation but he should have never been there in the first place. The work continues & we will never relent.

On #YomHaShoah, we honor the memory of the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust. We must continue to combat antisemitism wherever we see it and vow to #NeverAgain allow such hatred to take root or become normalized.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 14(source)

Wishing a very happy Vaisakhi to our Sikh community! 🌾 As we celebrate the New Year and the harvest festival, may your day be filled with joy, gratitude, and the spirit of renewal. 🙏✨

📍Institute of Music in Elizabeth 🎶 Stopped by the IMC to see how they are helping our youth achieve their full potential through music and mentorship. Proud to support their mission and can't wait to see their new space take shape. Thanks for the tunes!

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 13(source)

Excited to see Bayonne advancing plans for the Route 440 pedestrian bridge! I was proud to secure $2 million in federal funding to make this project a reality.
